The Magnum 6K8 is designed for use in a “factory floor” industrial 

environment. It is available with optional DIN-Rail brackets to mount it securely in a 

metal factory floor enclosure, maintained vertically for proper convection cooling of the 

unit. The Magnum 6K8 requires two DIN-Rail mounting clips or latches for secure 

mounting, and these may be ordered as Model # DIN-RAIL-6K8.  See a 6K8 viewed 

from the rear, at right, with model DIN-RAIL-6K8 in place on the unit.

The Din Rail Latching clips are mounted on the 

upper rear corners of the 6K8 unit.  Two threaded 

holes are provided on the sides of 6K8 for DIN-

Rail mounting purposes.  See side view at the left, 

with the top of the unit pointed to the right. The 

required two screws are included with the DIN-

Rail brackets, and are no.10-32 X 3/8 PHIL. PAN w/star washer. The two heavy-duty 

Din-Rail latches are designed as if that they can be manually accessed from the top when 

the 6K8 is installed on a DIN Rail. 

To install the 6K8 with the DIN-Rail brackets and latches attached to it, hold the 

6K8 in the vertical position with the bottom out, and with the top moved in toward the 

DIN-Rail.  Position the latches over the top of the DIN-Rail. Then, snap the latches into 

holding position by moving the bottom of 

the 6K8 inwards to a vertical position. The 

DIN-Rail latches and brackets are heavy 

duty, and will hold the 6K8 securely in 

position, even with cabling attached to the 

unit.  

To release the 6K8 from the DIN-

Rail mounting, press the top of the two 

DIN-Rail latches down simultaneously to 

release the 6K8 so that it can be 

dismounted by pulling the bottom out.
